Joke Weapons in Games

i think what i debated with myself was if a joke weapon had to be effective or not. Mr Toots is essentially the most powerful weapon in the game as it’s a plasma beam without cooldowns, and i wasn’t sure if it was required that the weapons also have joke effects.

i just remembered that you can unlock it a lot sooner than the end of the game too, it’s well hidden away in one of the early levels

Ahh, gotcha. Well, I would like to establish that joke weapons of all strengths are still cool and I at least would love to see them! I think both having a joke weapon that does nothing and also a joke weapon that is the most OP thing in the game are both hilarious

I’m guessing fish are even more prevalent in Japanese developers lives and so they end up in their creations more? Whatever the reason actually is, I am down for silly fish stuff in games

Dead Space 2 and maybe the remake have the hand cannon. A foam finger gun that is super powerful.

Fish, I think, are more weapon-shaped than most animals.

Nero in DMC5 with the ‘Monkey Business’ devil breaker

Its just a reskin of Helter Skelter, serves no real in game purpose besides showing off your love of bananas.
You can also get the Megaman Mega Buster but that actually has unique properties like letting you run and shoot at the same time.

I always liked Akiko’s Wok from Phantasy Star Online:


I also like that someone at Sega liked the wok enough to feature it in the Sega Gals gachapon set:

I wonder what piece of art or media in Asian culture the wok, pot lid and ladle as a weapon comes from. I hope it’s an ancient silly woodblock print or something.
